The core castle is unfortunately closed (due to dilapidation?). In front of it there is a spring and a large fireplace with a table and benches. You can rent the site from the municipality of Eberbach, there is enough space for tents.

Small castle ruins, which unfortunately can only be viewed from the outside. But it's not just about the castle, the whole area is great for hiking. Was there at the end of October and was completely alone. Walked for 5 hours and saw almost no one. I also spent the night there in a camper in a hiking parking lot and it was also very quiet. The Odenwald is recommended for hiking.

A great destination for a hike in the Odenwald. The jungle path is particularly recommended with children - here you can discover nature and collect great stamps. Unfortunately, the castle can only be viewed from the outside at the moment because there is a risk of falling rocks inside.

a beautiful ruin, unfortunately closed. The way there is beautiful and you can enjoy many viewpoints.

There's a road closed right now in the area, so it might happen that you end up walking two hours instead of 10 minutes if you let Googlemaps guide you. The hike is totally worth it though! Just make sure you add "Eberbach" as a destination and you go from there. Especially if you're coming from the direction of Heidelberg ❤️

Trencín Castle

Trenčín Castle is relatively large renovated castle, towering on a steep limestone cliff directly above the city of Trenčín. It is a dominant feature not only of Trenčín, but also of the entire Považie region. The castle is a national monument.

History of the castle cliff dates back to the Roman Empire, what is proved by the inscription on the castle cliff proclaiming the victory of Roman legion against Germans in the year 179.

Today’s castle was probably built on the hill-fort. The first proven building on the hill was the Great Moravian rotunda from the 9th century and later there was a stone residential tower, which served to protect the Kingdom of Hungary and the western border. In the late 13th century the castle became a property of Palatine Matúš Csák, who became Mr. of Váh and Tatras.

Matúš Csák of Trenčín built a tower, still known as Matthew’s, which is a dominant determinant of the whole building.
